No, not quite. I brought this up Adam a few days ago here on YT, and I found out it's NOT from DungeonMaster, it's from an episode of Dr.Who in 1974. It was copied in Dungeonmaster(1984).
@@tested Yeah, and I am telling Adam he's wrong. If "wrong" is a hard word, he is incorrect about it's origin. It's origin is not from Dungeonmaster, it's from an episode of Dr.Who that aired a decade earlier. Also, I'm gunna take a few mins in a void of disbelief that Adam has never watched Dr.Who. The amount of crappy effects that were on Dr.Who should have attracted him; to laugh, mock and spend 5mins making better than what was on that show. In this day and age, it's important to tell what you identify as: I am no Whovian.
I think my favorite Mythbusters quote is "Failure is always an option!" Also really enjoy "The difference between science and screwing around is writing it down!" Two quotes I've attempted to apply to life more
This mindset has made my life better as I approach problems. Acknowledging possibility of failure keeps you grounded in reality. Failure is possible, so how do you react to it? How do you minimize its impact? This has become a mantra for me.
@@LuckYeti Exactly! I'm an artist and a perfectionist, but I enjoy learning new things and playing with new mediums. Accepting that failure is an option makes it easier to make it part of learning rather than a discouragement.
I'm more a fan of this phrased by Howard Tayler's 70th Maxim (For Maximally-Effective Mercenaries): "Failure is not an option. It is mandatory. The option is whether you allow Failure to be the last thing you do."
My favorite is when jamie was supposed to climb up an airduct as quietly as possible with magnets and every time he stuck the magnet on the duct it sounded like a bomb was going off and Adam says "why.... Thor, the God of thunder, is trying to enter my building!" I couldnt breathe it was so funny the first time I saw it.
I'm literally dead on the sofa from laughter, I TOTALLY forgot about that one. It's one of the few times tears came out of my eyes from laughing when I first saw that episode.
I never laughed so hard in my life, KEERRR-CHIIING!!!!!!! Might as well try and rob the place with the alarm blaring!!! But Grants laugh was pretty much like mine. R.I.P. Grant
My favorite was Adam in the ep with the helium inflated life raft. He got tangled up and says, "This wins as the strangest position I've ever been in on this show. " and Kari looks at the camera and says, "Don't you love how he qualifies it with 'on this show'?"
They went on to do bigger explosions, but nothing ever topped that one for me. The very specific sound of a cement truck vaporizing, it's lodged in my memory forever.
Quack damn you made me wheeze in laughter when it showed up in the finger in the barrel of a gun episode and they made a cartoon version of Adam and Jamie. They used that quote from Jamie and I just couldn't stop laughing.
I'd have to say my favorite moment is when you're doing your "Wild Hyneman" routine while Jamie is in the background breaking sticks and he turns to the camera and outright asks "Is he doing his David Attenborough thing again?" After which you bust out laughing.
I guess that Julia Ward just said to herself on that evening: "Hey, that bloke has the cojones to still show up on a first date although he has his hair singed on one side of his head and is missing one eyebrow - if that ain't a keeper, I don't know wo could be." And as far as I know, they're still married and thus shall celebrate their 17th wedding anniversary in September 2021 - so I assume they got over Adams hair malfunction.
The funniest part is just afterwards, when someone told him, that he lost some hair to (though it was negligible). He goes from sort of laughing, to instantly freezing, and you can just see how he realizes that he has a date. He is almost about to cry at that point. Just mentioning it, for the few that haven't seen it. As I recall, that part wasn't aired. Might be wrong though. Anyway, it's in a lot of outtake compilations here on YT.
"No... I reject your reality... and SUBSTITUTE MY OWN!" "Nice! Dungeon Master!" "No, Mythbusters... what the hell is Dungeon Master..?" "Oh... I was so happy there for a moment..."
"The only difference between science and screwing around is writing it down" That quote stuck with me growing up and is the reason why I got into data science as a career. The genesis of my successful career has been that moment on Mythbusters.
On the topic of Scientists screwing around: I once interviewed for a position as a Technician in a biomedical research lab in Germany that did a lot of work on Drosophila (a.k.a. Fruit Flies). When they showed me around the lab we got to one room with a self-built machine they called "The Inebriator". It was basically a long vertical tube with lots of funnels in it. The small ends of the funnels had optical barriers in them, and the atmosphere in the whole tube could be saturated with alcohol vapour. The experimental setup was this: You put, say, 30 fruit flies in the top, so they sit in the first funnel. As they breathe the alcohol fumes, they get drunk. As they get more and more drunk over time, they will lose their footing and fall down into the next funnel. The more drunk they get, the more they tumble towards the bottom. At the very end of the tube, the last funnel leads into a collection jar where the flies are captured again. You let the flies sober up, and them send them for another round. Repeat that a few times, and you get a value for the alcohol resistance they build up, signified by the mean time it takes the average fruit fly to get drunk enough to just fall over, lol. Do this with genetically modified flies, and you can measure the impact of genes on the initial as well as acquired resistance to alcohol. So yeah - There are scientists in this world who spend their working hours trying to get fruit flies shitfaced enough to keel over. I'm still a bit salty that I didn't get the job.
@@SavageGreywolf That's the beauty: The control group consists of flies without genetic modification. Sure they needed to take some measurements of sober flies to prove the system works when they initially set it up, but in practical use the "control" consists of different values in time-to-fall-over and level-of-acquired-alcohol-tolerance. In other words, all the flies are getting shitfaced all the time. This was in Germany after all.
@@TheR00ndar Good question! Fruit Flies count among the most popular "model organisms", especially for genetics. They aren't really being studied for their own sake, but because there's a good chance that what you find in fruit flies translates fairly well to other species, including humans. A surprising amount of the genes discovered in fruit flies have "analogs" in other species like mice or humans. That's a roundabout way of saying that these researchers are (ultimately) interested in factors that drive Human addictive behaviour, and they study fruit flies in order to identify interesting genetic candidates. Identifying genes that play a role in some specific behaviour is a lot simpler and more practical to do in flies because of a number of reasons: For one the genetics of flies are generally more simple, given that fruit flies only have four chromosomes where humans have 24. Another factor is that they can easily be genetically manipulated, because you can just take a tiny needle and inject whatever DNA you want right into the egg. You can also experiment with crossing different lines and so build very complex mutants in relatively short time, because their generational cycle is so short. With mice, for example, generating a double-knockout mice (with two specific genes disabled) can take several months, because you need three weeks for the pups to be born and another three weeks till they reach fertility and you can cross the next generation. With fruit flies, you can do the same stuff in a matter of days. Not to mention that the ethics of experimenting on flies are a lot less questionable than doing experiments on mammals, even if they're "only" rodents. I could go on like this, but I feel like I'm just rambling now. I hope this gives you some idea!
Yes!! I so often marvel at the design of things which do something very cool in a very simple way, things like old compressed air tools with just 2 moving parts, or stuff on old cars which managed assumedly complicated engine functions before computers like carburetors or parts of the engine which work on vacuum. Really old machines, the marvel of the highly accurate screw which modern society is based on. A good design to me is one that tells us thath people of the past were in no way simpler or less intelligent, just more limited in what was available. And limitation breeds creativity.
I often quote this when people keep hoisting ancient engineering on a pedestal, making it out to be superior to modern engineering: "Anyone can slap on enough material until something's too durable to fail. It takes an engineer to apply the exact amount of material needed to achieve the intended function for the intended lifespan. Over-engineering's easy, red-lining efficiency is hard as all fuck."
@@PJ-ku5lp Sadly, I don't think anyone has told him about the RLM video, they just asked him about the quote without context. Edit: Thought, RLM is credited in the description and a link to their video.
A favorite Mythbusters quote of ours comes from an episode involving skydiving somehow, and poor Tori is... not super jazzed about jumping out of an airplane for the myth, and as his plane taxis away Grant starts waving and shouts,” I’m keeping your tools!”
As a science teacher I used to use your quote, "The only different between science and screwing around if writing it down." A lot. The students could understand it, plus they too knew it as a Myth busters quote.
Imagine how much more immersive Adam's vlogs like this would be if he had permission to show clips from the show instead of having to describe the scene
"Am I missing an eyebrow?" When I saw this during the opening of the very first Mythbusters that I had ever seen (I had been at sea when the series was first introduced) I KNEW I was in for a treat, and you guys never disappointed. My wife and both of our kids thoroughly enjoyed it and learned a lot right along with me. I know I may be asking a lot Adam, but stay safe buddy.
A dew months into dating my now-wife, I flew with her across the country to meet her dad and step-mom. One night, he was driving us all back from dinner. He was nearly 70, she was around 60, and everyone was tired. I'd been asking them about their lives as scientists and what it was like running experiments. They exhaustedly replied that it was mostly boring, because the experiments were planned and scrutinized to the point that you almost always got what you expected, and it really seemed like they didn't want to talk about it. I then asked what I thought was a simple question: "What happens when something unexpected happens?" I swear, they both started giggling like elementary school kids. Her dad said, "Oh, that was cause for great excitement!" The rest of the drive home was more lively as they talked about how word would spread and people would want to know what happened, and the next day, they both seemed much more open to me.
One of my favorite quotes involved when you were testing a pirate myth (don't recall which one) and were using pigs as human analogs. I don't recall the exact wording, but it was something like, "As you know, we use pigs as human analogs. Well, there are very few differences between humans and pirates, so pigs also make good pirate analogs."
When did RLM review dungeon master? They just did a commentary track for dungeons and dragons and that's all that comes up when I search RLM Dungeon master.
My favourite Adam Savage 'quote' that doesn't get alot of mileage from it. Comes from the Movie Heist break in episode where Jamie & Adam. Try to break into a building via the air duct. When Jamie is trying to climb the duct with magnets & Adam says. *"Why Thor the God of Thunder is trying to break into my building!"*
Largely unnoticed is an episode of Mythbusters where Adam is wearing a t shirt that says, “I reject your reality TV and substitute my own.” I want that shirt.
I distinctly remember seeing that shirt on the very first episode where they stopped using that line in the title sequence. I was so saddened that they stopped using the line, and then was so happy to see it on his shirt!
From one of the international shark episodes, Grant and Tory exchanging some friendly digs at each other: Tory: I hear they like sushi! Grant: Oh yeah? I hear they like Italian!
My personal favourite science-y quote: The most exciting phrase to hear in science, the one that heralds new discoveries, is not “Eureka!” (I found it!) but “That’s funny …” - Isaac Asimov
The "science and screwing around" quote hit my engineering department at university hard and was nearly turned into official signage in the various shops and labs. Engineering students in their twenties, fully in the mode of absorbing everything into our brains, watching as many episodes of Mythbusters as possible, working on everything from cars to canoes to computers - that quote is lodged deep into our collective memories. Thank you to both of you for that delightfully nerdy earworm!
"That second stage was a hell of a thing!" -- Adam Savage "So our goal was to fuse metal and pancake the car. Did we achieve that? What car?" -- Jamie Hyneman _MythBusters,_ episode "Demolition Derby" (2009)
Mythbusters was one of the best parts of my childhood. Watching it on SBS religiously and sometimes I wasn't allowed to stay up and watch it so my dad would stay up and record it to tape or DVD for me. As someone now involved in the engineering field thanks for all the sparks your show set off in that kids mind!
I do some coding in my job, and of course, it never works the first time. Or the second. Sometimes it goes on and one. And I often find and say, "Well, there's your problem."
"The difference between science and screwing around..." Has been hugely helpful for me as a homeschool parent. When my mythbusters loving kid didn't want to track the data of an experiment, and didn't want to listen to me, she would do it anyway because "Adam Savage told me to". So thanks for that!
@@renevile Yes, that look was priceless indeed, but the rest of the story which Adam told in a "Behind the scenes"-Episode of Mythbusters really takes the cake: At that very same day, Adam had a date and so he was obviously a wee bit concerned about how he looked. But as he also told in that same Episode, the date "went spectacular" - and as he married his wife Julia Ward in September 2004, I assume that she was that date he was referring to. :-)
I know this video is old and y'all will probably never see this but both mythbuster's and the tested channel have really revived my love for science and engineering. it's given me direction when I'm directionless and I just want to thank you for that.
The pedantic test engineer in me has always hated it, an option is something you deliberately design into something, and if you design it in, it is not a failure (unless your failure feature fails to work.) The better (but admittedly less catchy) phrase is 'Failure is also an outcome.' or 'Failure is a possibility.' If you are familiar with computer science, there is always 'Failure is just another feature.'
My favorite has always been "Am I missing an eyebrow?" because it's just so absurd and funny. And it was always doubly funny to me back then because Adam looked a lot like my dad, and my dad was permanently missing some of his eyebrow from an old accident. So when we'd seen that episode of the show, he started to just randomly quote it whenever things happened to go wrong or something happened, even if it had nothing to do with eyebrows, and it never failed to get a laugh from me. Can't remember if it was the same side or not, but yeah, that scene holds a bit of a special place in my heart.
It sounded and felt so cool, hearing Adam explain that last joke. You could really see how important that quote is to him. Appreciate you sharing that with us, Adam
My favorite quote is Adam's "I reject your reality and substitute my own.", it is a classic and a wonderful way to think and view the world at times. Another one that has stuck with me is Adam's "Come, Silent Walrus, let us storm the castle!". Makes me chuckle every time. x)
One of my favorite science quotes comes from my mom. "It's not fun, it's science!" As we were volunteered to run our elementary school's science night. I was complaining that my experiment was boring and the kids lost interest halfway through my explanation. This was not exactly the response we had been expecting.
I had a guitar-player in the studio, and he broke a cable, and I just had to quote you Sir Savage. I said - "Well, there's your problem" (with a lisp) - and - "This is why we cant have nice things" - it cracked us up. Thanks for the great entertainment over the years from Denmark
I don't think 'more' is the word. But there are others. Adam stands out for is childlike enthusiasm. Beyond is great content, merely watching him is a balm. Another likeable character with a childlike wonder, but a completely different energy, is Crafsman Steadycraftin. Hard to beat This Old Tony for surreal tooling entertainment
Daw, this brought tears. 😊 I always loved the show because everyone seemed to have this... ALIVE sense of wonder. Thank you so much for being you. And for sharing your energy and enthusiasm with the world. 🙏❤️
It's extremely wonderful how that show was able to bring together ppl like that and showed us. And also that now Adam is gathering people like that today
I use “Well There’s Your Problem” all the time. Still 1 of my favorite moments in the show. The look on Jamie’s face when he said it was just priceless.
The border slingshot episode had a quote that was always my favorite, because it was very simple and straight-to-the-point. At one point, Jamie stated "This is gonna kill you!"
I literally gasped when he brought the Noisy Cricket on camera! Would love to see an MIB movie where the agents restock in Adams cave, revealing that some of his replicas are actual alien tech.
@@ieuanhunt552 I'm that person too. I'm in my 20s, no cable TV in my youth and Mythbusters was seen as that "violent American show" so I wasn't allowed to watch it anyway. Discovered Adam since someone quoted him in the comments section on another channel I watch and I was like "who is that?" Glad I found out about him and his work. To be fair, I might at some point pick up an online boxset or something and watch Mythbusters properly.
As a special effects techie myself, I'd say it goes much deeper - in this line of work we often balance on the edge of what's possible and what's not, or "we often balance on the edge of what is known as an effective way of doing things, and ways no one has thought of yet", so failing is most certainly possible, and more likely the more complex the task. One needs to remember that, as one needs to calculate how much time one needs to allocate to research, and how much time to allocate to construction. Another important meaning of the quote is on one hand "always have a back-up to your back-up because you never know what might go wrong", and on the other hand a reminder that "things might go wrong, but some things can not be allowed to go wrong in certain ways, so make sure you do an extra safety check". And of course, it's always ok to stumble and fall, if you don't want to fall once in a while, get a meaningless job that takes neither skill nor creativity. If you want to work on the creative frontline, expect to fall - it's part of the process but not the end result, and how the hell could you pick yourself up and invent new methods etc. if you didn't fail once in a while? If you always get it right in the first go, you're not trying hard enough.;-) EDIT: And I could probably think of a ton of other meanings, but I've got some stuff to research.:-D
Elon Musk certainly believes this. Crashed the second prototype of his new rocket a couple of days ago. Has another one on the pad, ready to go in less than 2 weeks, and 4 more under construction.
Among the first things Adam admits before even going into detail was that it wasn't even his own quote. The world doesn't deserve the humility of this man.
The quote “the only difference between science and screwing around is writing it down” was huge for me growing it! Just as you said, it gave a huge demystification to science as a whole! Made me less afraid of science, and more willing to learn about it! The show in general was absolutely huge in doing that for me. Funny thing, when I took my ACT test for college, my top subject was science! I hadn’t taken any “science” courses at that point in high school. My dad always attributed that to Mythbusters! We would watch every episode that came out and debate the results and the data and try to come to conclusions as you all were. It was amazing and taught me so much growing up! I even went to college at New Mexico Tech and was so excited about the fact Mythbuster came to our school!!!! I remember my freshman year Grant (RIP) gave a talk, and the next day he was going around campus and I saw a group of women be like “is that grant?!?” And squeal and run after him like he was a rockstar, which you all are!
As an EOD tech I used the shit out of that quote. Another good one was “there’s not much in life that can’t be solved by good whisky or a liberal application of explosives.”
Oh! I just remembered sharing a cabin with some friends, and in lighting the barbecue, I caused a momentarily giant fireball. Everyone else was inside and just saw this huge flash. I then ran in, looked at everyone and said "do I still have eyebrows???" XD
I can’t decide if the main answer is what makes these videos great or the insanely enjoyable tangents of a man who is so passionate for his work that he can’t help but escape down a few rabbit holes as he answers a question.
My favourite quote from the show was when testing the driving underwater to escape a shooter, and they wheeled out the 50 Caliber rifle, and comparing a 50. Bullet it to the .308. "This kills you, this kills you and everyone else in the room" Also, the quote with the little Derringer was hilarious, we did get to see it here in the UK :)

"The only difference between science and screwing around is writing it down" That quote stuck with me growing up and is the reason why I got into data science as a career. The genesis of my successful career has been that moment on Mythbusters.
that's wild!
I'm rather fond of that quote as well
"You kids quit screwing around!"
"Yes sir!"
*Gets notepad and resumes activities.*
My favorite too
Wildly enough, me too! Mythbusters did more to get people into science than almost anything else
"Research is what I'm doing when I have no idea what I'm doing."
- Richard Feynman
I live by that line.
On the topic of Scientists screwing around: I once interviewed for a position as a Technician in a biomedical research lab in Germany that did a lot of work on Drosophila (a.k.a. Fruit Flies). When they showed me around the lab we got to one room with a self-built machine they called "The Inebriator". It was basically a long vertical tube with lots of funnels in it. The small ends of the funnels had optical barriers in them, and the atmosphere in the whole tube could be saturated with alcohol vapour.
The experimental setup was this: You put, say, 30 fruit flies in the top, so they sit in the first funnel. As they breathe the alcohol fumes, they get drunk. As they get more and more drunk over time, they will lose their footing and fall down into the next funnel. The more drunk they get, the more they tumble towards the bottom. At the very end of the tube, the last funnel leads into a collection jar where the flies are captured again.
You let the flies sober up, and them send them for another round. Repeat that a few times, and you get a value for the alcohol resistance they build up, signified by the mean time it takes the average fruit fly to get drunk enough to just fall over, lol.
Do this with genetically modified flies, and you can measure the impact of genes on the initial as well as acquired resistance to alcohol.
So yeah - There are scientists in this world who spend their working hours trying to get fruit flies shitfaced enough to keel over. I'm still a bit salty that I didn't get the job.
I expect the fruit flies in the control group were also a bit disappointed
Worth the read. 😁 💯
@@SavageGreywolf That's the beauty: The control group consists of flies without genetic modification. Sure they needed to take some measurements of sober flies to prove the system works when they initially set it up, but in practical use the "control" consists of different values in time-to-fall-over and level-of-acquired-alcohol-tolerance. In other words, all the flies are getting shitfaced all the time.
This was in Germany after all.
So why are they interested in the alcohol resistance of fruit flies?
@@TheR00ndar Good question! Fruit Flies count among the most popular "model organisms", especially for genetics. They aren't really being studied for their own sake, but because there's a good chance that what you find in fruit flies translates fairly well to other species, including humans.
A surprising amount of the genes discovered in fruit flies have "analogs" in other species like mice or humans.
That's a roundabout way of saying that these researchers are (ultimately) interested in factors that drive Human addictive behaviour, and they study fruit flies in order to identify interesting genetic candidates.
Identifying genes that play a role in some specific behaviour is a lot simpler and more practical to do in flies because of a number of reasons:
For one the genetics of flies are generally more simple, given that fruit flies only have four chromosomes where humans have 24.
Another factor is that they can easily be genetically manipulated, because you can just take a tiny needle and inject whatever DNA you want right into the egg.
You can also experiment with crossing different lines and so build very complex mutants in relatively short time, because their generational cycle is so short. With mice, for example, generating a double-knockout mice (with two specific genes disabled) can take several months, because you need three weeks for the pups to be born and another three weeks till they reach fertility and you can cross the next generation. With fruit flies, you can do the same stuff in a matter of days. Not to mention that the ethics of experimenting on flies are a lot less questionable than doing experiments on mammals, even if they're "only" rodents.
I could go on like this, but I feel like I'm just rambling now. I hope this gives you some idea!
I think Adam just radiates “I reject your reality and substitute my own!” energy, and that’s why it stuck so much. It’s a great quote for him.
"this is why we can't have nice things" is obviously not solely a mythbusters thing, but i associate the quote with the show so much
"Over-Engineering is the mark of inferior design" - Jamie. As a design engineer now, I go back to that one a lot.
I like that one a lot too
Yep! It is about taking the first crucial steps in the right direction since it takes alot of slow tough steps in the muck to shift to the right path!
Over-engineering is never having to say... wow, just a little bit more and that would not have come apart.
Yes!! I so often marvel at the design of things which do something very cool in a very simple way, things like old compressed air tools with just 2 moving parts, or stuff on old cars which managed assumedly complicated engine functions before computers like carburetors or parts of the engine which work on vacuum. Really old machines, the marvel of the highly accurate screw which modern society is based on. A good design to me is one that tells us thath people of the past were in no way simpler or less intelligent, just more limited in what was available. And limitation breeds creativity.
I often quote this when people keep hoisting ancient engineering on a pedestal, making it out to be superior to modern engineering:
"Anyone can slap on enough material until something's too durable to fail. It takes an engineer to apply the exact amount of material needed to achieve the intended function for the intended lifespan. Over-engineering's easy, red-lining efficiency is hard as all fuck."
A joke that never fails to make me laugh "Come, Silent Walrus, let us storm the castle! I will don my safety gear!" 🤣

@@PJ-ku5lp Sadly, I don't think anyone has told him about the RLM video, they just asked him about the quote without context.

@@ShowToddSomeLove too soon.
As a science teacher I used to use your quote, "The only different between science and screwing around if writing it down." A lot. The students could understand it, plus they too knew it as a Myth busters quote.
Adam: I love linear data.
Jamie: I'm partial to exponential curves myself.
"These things are always catching on fire" while welding the Hindenburg model and it started burning
"There's your problem" always made me chuckle.
"Failure is always an option." is so underrated!!
As the household (and work) technical ...."Expert".... I say that more times than I'd like.
Imagine how much more immersive Adam's vlogs like this would be if he had permission to show clips from the show instead of having to describe the scene
_"What's the opposite of what I should say?"_
That pretty much sums up Adam Savage doesn't it.
"Am I missing an eyebrow?" When I saw this during the opening of the very first Mythbusters that I had ever seen (I had been at sea when the series was first introduced) I KNEW I was in for a treat, and you guys never disappointed. My wife and both of our kids thoroughly enjoyed it and learned a lot right along with me.
I know I may be asking a lot Adam, but stay safe buddy.
"Quack damn you."
"When in doubt, C-4"
"jamie wants big boom"
"It was the lard that did it!"
Damn, beat me to it. Here, take my like.

A dew months into dating my now-wife, I flew with her across the country to meet her dad and step-mom. One night, he was driving us all back from dinner. He was nearly 70, she was around 60, and everyone was tired. I'd been asking them about their lives as scientists and what it was like running experiments.
They exhaustedly replied that it was mostly boring, because the experiments were planned and scrutinized to the point that you almost always got what you expected, and it really seemed like they didn't want to talk about it.
I then asked what I thought was a simple question: "What happens when something unexpected happens?" I swear, they both started giggling like elementary school kids. Her dad said, "Oh, that was cause for great excitement!" The rest of the drive home was more lively as they talked about how word would spread and people would want to know what happened, and the next day, they both seemed much more open to me.
One of my favorite quotes involved when you were testing a pirate myth (don't recall which one) and were using pigs as human analogs. I don't recall the exact wording, but it was something like, "As you know, we use pigs as human analogs. Well, there are very few differences between humans and pirates, so pigs also make good pirate analogs."
"Why, Thor, the god of thunder, is trying to enter my building!"
Always been one of my favourites.
I loved that countdown of "3...2...1...go" and then this crashing sound coming from the vents.
Honestly the context of that scene makes it infinitely better, and its even better with Avenger's jokes

What brought RLM into the chat?
@@christhepotato RLM reviewed the movie where the quote originated, and showed a clip of Adam saying the quote on mythbusters.
When did RLM review dungeon master? They just did a commentary track for dungeons and dragons and that's all that comes up when I search RLM Dungeon master.
My favourite Adam Savage 'quote' that doesn't get alot of mileage from it. Comes from the Movie Heist break in episode where Jamie & Adam. Try to break into a building via the air duct. When Jamie is trying to climb the duct with magnets & Adam says. *"Why Thor the God of Thunder is trying to break into my building!"*
Largely unnoticed is an episode of Mythbusters where Adam is wearing a t shirt that says, “I reject your reality TV and substitute my own.” I want that shirt.
I distinctly remember seeing that shirt on the very first episode where they stopped using that line in the title sequence. I was so saddened that they stopped using the line, and then was so happy to see it on his shirt!
I knew this was coming when I saw it on RLM.
The internet is a small place

My personal favourite science-y quote:
The most exciting phrase to hear in science, the one that heralds new discoveries, is not “Eureka!” (I found it!) but “That’s funny …” - Isaac Asimov
Mine is "Well shit, that didn't work."
"Huh, that's weird ..."
“This is a wobbery” will probably live in my head rent free from now on
It's free Real Estate.
I watched that in my lab and am now crying with laughter, now to screw around. I am sure I left my note book somewhere.
“Did you leave a log burning on the kitchen table?” *Jamie voice* “Aw crap, I did.”
Saying Jamie voice is very crucial. It just wouldn’t be the same
The "science and screwing around" quote hit my engineering department at university hard and was nearly turned into official signage in the various shops and labs. Engineering students in their twenties, fully in the mode of absorbing everything into our brains, watching as many episodes of Mythbusters as possible, working on everything from cars to canoes to computers - that quote is lodged deep into our collective memories. Thank you to both of you for that delightfully nerdy earworm!
My fav quote from Adam is "REMEMBER KIDS! the difference between SCIENCE and screwing around is writing it down!" Changed my life
"That second stage was a hell of a thing!" -- Adam Savage
"So our goal was to fuse metal and pancake the car. Did we achieve that? What car?" -- Jamie Hyneman
_MythBusters,_ episode "Demolition Derby" (2009)
Such a great episode!
My fav quote.... right after the "well there is your problem." "I swear I left it right here" cracks me up every single time!
Jamie:
"When in doubt, c4!"
"I call it my little pop gun!"
I used the C4 quote at work a few times. usually on break. visiting the vending machine. C4 always had a kit-kat bar in it :D
"Jamie wants a big boom."

My favorite: "It's time to de-ass the area with the quickness." - J D Nelson
Mythbusters was one of the best parts of my childhood. Watching it on SBS religiously and sometimes I wasn't allowed to stay up and watch it so my dad would stay up and record it to tape or DVD for me. As someone now involved in the engineering field thanks for all the sparks your show set off in that kids mind!
I do some coding in my job, and of course, it never works the first time. Or the second. Sometimes it goes on and one. And I often find and say, "Well, there's your problem."
This series is genuinely interesting, fun and wholesome. Adam lifting up the curtains and giving credit where credit is due. Great stuff!
"The difference between science and screwing around..." Has been hugely helpful for me as a homeschool parent. When my mythbusters loving kid didn't want to track the data of an experiment, and didn't want to listen to me, she would do it anyway because "Adam Savage told me to". So thanks for that!
So precious
You have a good kid, Loralei!
"Am I missing... an... eyebrow?" "I like it in here-- it's private."
Those were my favorites too!!! I was a kid and those two quotes stuck with me for life it seems
@@renevile
Yes, that look was priceless indeed, but the rest of the story which Adam told in a "Behind the scenes"-Episode of Mythbusters really takes the cake:
At that very same day, Adam had a date and so he was obviously a wee bit concerned about how he looked. But as he also told in that same Episode, the date "went spectacular" - and as he married his wife Julia Ward in September 2004, I assume that she was that date he was referring to. :-)
“Well there’s your problem.” -Favorite mythbusters quote
Mine too
I just realized that i say "Well there's you're problem" at least once a week at work because of mythbusters.
Isn't that quite a dark twist to "Well there's your problem"?
I always thought they got that one from Car Talk, who probably got it from a movie or something. Either way, widely applicable.
I know this video is old and y'all will probably never see this but both mythbuster's and the tested channel have really revived my love for science and engineering. it's given me direction when I'm directionless and I just want to thank you for that.
"hang on just a second" *ad proceeds to play*
Now that's some timing
That was so smooooth I'm not even mad
I always kinda liked “Failure is *always* an option,” myself.
YES!!
'Cause it is!
No way around it.
I apply this to real life daily
The pedantic test engineer in me has always hated it, an option is something you deliberately design into something, and if you design it in, it is not a failure (unless your failure feature fails to work.) The better (but admittedly less catchy) phrase is 'Failure is also an outcome.' or 'Failure is a possibility.' If you are familiar with computer science, there is always 'Failure is just another feature.'
@@Mythilt True, but part of the point of the statement is to say something humorous and outlandish, a play on the original "Failure is NOT an option."
"Jamie want's big boom".
That's my favorite.
When in doubt, C4
Who is Jamie Want?
My favorite has always been "Am I missing an eyebrow?" because it's just so absurd and funny. And it was always doubly funny to me back then because Adam looked a lot like my dad, and my dad was permanently missing some of his eyebrow from an old accident. So when we'd seen that episode of the show, he started to just randomly quote it whenever things happened to go wrong or something happened, even if it had nothing to do with eyebrows, and it never failed to get a laugh from me. Can't remember if it was the same side or not, but yeah, that scene holds a bit of a special place in my heart.
It sounded and felt so cool, hearing Adam explain that last joke. You could really see how important that quote is to him. Appreciate you sharing that with us, Adam
“The Only Difference Between Screwing Around and Science Is Writing It Down” -Adam Savage-
Ok, i just finished the video XD
My favorite: "Is he doing his David Attenborough thing?"
Yes..Absolutely gold...
I love the walrus lines, brilliant stuff and comedy gold! 😄
My favorite quote is Adam's "I reject your reality and substitute my own.", it is a classic and a wonderful way to think and view the world at times.
Another one that has stuck with me is Adam's "Come, Silent Walrus, let us storm the castle!". Makes me chuckle every time. x)
One of my favorite science quotes comes from my mom. "It's not fun, it's science!"
As we were volunteered to run our elementary school's science night. I was complaining that my experiment was boring and the kids lost interest halfway through my explanation. This was not exactly the response we had been expecting.
I had a guitar-player in the studio, and he broke a cable, and I just had to quote you Sir Savage. I said - "Well, there's your problem" (with a lisp) - and - "This is why we cant have nice things" - it cracked us up. Thanks for the great entertainment over the years from Denmark

It's extremely wonderful how that show was able to bring together ppl like that and showed us. And also that now Adam is gathering people like that today
I use “Well There’s Your Problem” all the time. Still 1 of my favorite moments in the show. The look on Jamie’s face when he said it was just priceless.
"Failure is always an option"
Not to get fake deep but that line has definitely helped me through a lot lmao
Adam’s reality is so much more uplifting and positive than my own! I therefor cede my reality and accept his whenever possible!
I love that the Myth Busters extended universe and the RLM extended universe are connected now.
The border slingshot episode had a quote that was always my favorite, because it was very simple and straight-to-the-point.
At one point, Jamie stated "This is gonna kill you!"
I literally gasped when he brought the Noisy Cricket on camera! Would love to see an MIB movie where the agents restock in Adams cave, revealing that some of his replicas are actual alien tech.
I've never heard that final quote before, but I love it

@@ieuanhunt552 I'm that person too. I'm in my 20s, no cable TV in my youth and Mythbusters was seen as that "violent American show" so I wasn't allowed to watch it anyway.

@@ieuanhunt552 There are dozens of us!
Think the quote from the show that has stuck with me to this day was "Failure is always an option." Taught me that it's okay to stumble and fall.
As a special effects techie myself, I'd say it goes much deeper - in this line of work we often balance on the edge of what's possible and what's not, or "we often balance on the edge of what is known as an effective way of doing things, and ways no one has thought of yet", so failing is most certainly possible, and more likely the more complex the task. One needs to remember that, as one needs to calculate how much time one needs to allocate to research, and how much time to allocate to construction. Another important meaning of the quote is on one hand "always have a back-up to your back-up because you never know what might go wrong", and on the other hand a reminder that "things might go wrong, but some things can not be allowed to go wrong in certain ways, so make sure you do an extra safety check". And of course, it's always ok to stumble and fall, if you don't want to fall once in a while, get a meaningless job that takes neither skill nor creativity. If you want to work on the creative frontline, expect to fall - it's part of the process but not the end result, and how the hell could you pick yourself up and invent new methods etc. if you didn't fail once in a while? If you always get it right in the first go, you're not trying hard enough.;-)
EDIT: And I could probably think of a ton of other meanings, but I've got some stuff to research.:-D
Failure sometimes is the best option. IF you're learning from it. Coming from a German engineer lol
Elon Musk certainly believes this. Crashed the second prototype of his new rocket a couple of days ago. Has another one on the pad, ready to go in less than 2 weeks, and 4 more under construction.
Among the first things Adam admits before even going into detail was that it wasn't even his own quote. The world doesn't deserve the humility of this man.
The quote “the only difference between science and screwing around is writing it down” was huge for me growing it! Just as you said, it gave a huge demystification to science as a whole! Made me less afraid of science, and more willing to learn about it! The show in general was absolutely huge in doing that for me.
Funny thing, when I took my ACT test for college, my top subject was science! I hadn’t taken any “science” courses at that point in high school. My dad always attributed that to Mythbusters! We would watch every episode that came out and debate the results and the data and try to come to conclusions as you all were. It was amazing and taught me so much growing up!
I even went to college at New Mexico Tech and was so excited about the fact Mythbuster came to our school!!!! I remember my freshman year Grant (RIP) gave a talk, and the next day he was going around campus and I saw a group of women be like “is that grant?!?” And squeal and run after him like he was a rockstar, which you all are!

"Am I missing an eyebrow?" is still a classic.

I can’t decide if the main answer is what makes these videos great or the insanely enjoyable tangents of a man who is so passionate for his work that he can’t help but escape down a few rabbit holes as he answers a question.
My favourite quote from the show was when testing the driving underwater to escape a shooter, and they wheeled out the 50 Caliber rifle, and comparing a 50. Bullet it to the .308.
"This kills you, this kills you and everyone else in the room"
Also, the quote with the little Derringer was hilarious, we did get to see it here in the UK :)
